GIVE HIM A WAY

Give him some tools, 

plastic pales and some old wood 

and he’ll play in a box of sand 

Give him your rules, 

fairy tales and a childhood 

and the back of your right hand 

And he’ll do his very best to make you happy, 

or castle or a mountain with some flags all over it. 

Give him a game 

with no chance that he can win, 

and he’ll try and make you proud. 

Give him some shame 

and some pants he’s not to play in, 

and he won’t play out loud. 

But he’ll do his very best to try and help you 

with your problems, 

and you’ll never hear him say get over them 

But give him a way, 

or he’ll sacrifice his life to make you happy, 

or castle or a mountain with some flags all over it.
